the Rev. DR.. Nourse, Of this oity. who
said that the President was very much
annoyed by the persistence OF certain
member OF congress named Jerry Smith,
who haunted him continually wherever
he went with applications for office on
behalf OF his constituents. One day q
delegation Of elergymen called upon MIR.
Lincoln TO pay their respects, and one
OF them asked him il he ever sought
counsel and guidance from the Lord
during that time OF his great responsible
ity and anxiety.
aYes," replled Mr.. Lincoln, "I pray

the hundreds Of thousands OF soldiers

The slate plan was that this committee
should bo the one already Written up
in the hands Of Geo. Rice, chairman of
the convention, for announcement. The
amendment would have headed this off,
as committee representing the whole
convention would have been chosen.
Trail county was called, and in response
some one cast her twenty-one votes for
the slate plan. Edwards, OF the Fargo
Argus, called attention to the fact that
there was no Trail delegation or any

These few quotations from the Aber-
deem News, relative to the late admis.
sion as whole convention, are worth
preserving as samples of able bodied
Misrepresentation:
The delegates came here fresh from
the constituencies that sent them.
The truth is Governor Church had no
more to do with the convention than
President Cleveland had TO do with the
recent convention Of republican clubs
held in New York city.
1t was composed OF better material
than has ever yet gathered in a terri
forial convention.
1t was run in the interest OF no party
or section. 1t was in no sense conven-
tion of politicians, but was in the trues,
sense convention OF the people.
